6.2. x86 Architectures


Known Issues
  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a fully virtualized SMP guest, the installation may freeze. This can occur when the host (dom0) is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.
    To prevent this, set the guest to use a single processor using the install. You can do this by using the --vcpus=1 option in virt-install. Once the installation is completed, you can set the guest to SMP by modifying the allocated vcpus in virt-manager.
